Passenger transportation and tourism

Passenger transportation and tourism

There are currently 3 transport companies that have been on the market for more than 6 years: VipCarsBus Limousine Service, Big Apple Tours, Club Traveler . Each company has its own website and an established customer base. Over the years of successful work in the passenger transportation market, the company has taken a leading position among transport companies in New York and has gained a reputation as reliable partners for many companies.

Transport companies provide the following types of services:

  • Excursion tours in the USA and Canada.
  • Renting buses for transporting construction workers.
  • Servicing enterprises for the delivery of employees on a rotational basis.
  • Transfer to airports, railway stations, hotels and back.
  • Transportation of children to summer camps.
  • Passenger transportation during conferences and sporting events.
  • Organization of exhibitions and any corporate public events.
  • Transportation of clients by luxury business class cars and buses.
  • Transport services for weddings
  • Providing transport for funeral services
  • Organization of bus pilgrimage tours
  • International bus tours
  • Hourly rental of cars, limousines, minibuses and buses (with driver)
  • Trips to the coast and mountains

There are currently 6-7 more companies engaged in passenger transportation in the New York market. Two of them have their own vehicle fleet. These are economy class buses that do not meet the state standard for service.

And there are only six companies in New York that have such a list of services as ours , but they also do not have their own transport. Due to the lack of its own transport, none of the companies can provide passenger transportation on a permanent basis along tourist and excursion routes. Accordingly, having our own transport, we cover all this.

Companies need their own fleet of vehicles, for which it is necessary to purchase the following vehicles:

Mercedes transport VIP and economy class

  • Mercedes S class – from 60 to 200,000 $ quantity 2

  • Hamer Limousine – $150,000

Disadvantages of operating a transport company without its own fleet of modern vehicles:

  • Transport is not delivered to the client on time; with a hired car, no one is responsible for this due to impunity
  • Another car may arrive: 1) not meeting the customer’s requirements, 2) harming the company’s image)
  • The owner of his own funds can lure the client to himself (mainly at a price)
  • The car may not arrive at all
  • Many customers do not want to work with companies due to the lack of personal transport due to the above reasons
  • When opening a new route, it is not always possible to fully compensate for hired transport

PROS COME FROM MINUSES
